5. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS, NET

For the identified reporting units, impairment testing was performed as of December 31, 2021 using an income approach based on management’s determination of the prospective financial information, with consideration given to the existing uncertainty in the global economy and aerospace and defense industry, particularly the commercial sector. The results of this test indicated the fair value exceeded carrying value for all reporting units tested. As a result of the impairment testing performed as of December 31, 2021, no indefinite-lived intangible assets or goodwill was determined to be impaired. Management updated their assessment during the first nine months of 2022 and validated the assumptions used in the analyses performed as of December 31, 2021 and determined that the resulting conclusions remained appropriate as of September 30, 2022.

Goodwill increased by $1.8 million from $14.4 million at December 31, 2021 to $16.2 million at September 30, 2022. The increase in Goodwill was driven by the addition of $1.9 million of Goodwill related to the acquisitions in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment of Knitting Machinery Company of America in the second quarter of 2022 and of Reverso Pumps and Separ America in the first quarter of 2022, partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million related to a purchase accounting adjustment to Goodwill for Global-Tek Manufacturing and Global-Tek Colorado, also in the Industrial and Transportation Products segment. Goodwill by reportable segment is as follows:

	September 30,			December 31,
